Los camafeos han existido desde épocas muy antiguas, tuvo especial auge en el Renacimiento con representaciones de mitología antigua, se tallaba en el metal inicialmente pero en seguida se comenzó a tallar en piedras, ágata, ónice, nácar... Sea cual sea el material trabajado, el motivo suele ser de gran belleza y habitualmente figuras femeninas. Siempre que veo alguno me lleva a épocas pasadas, llenas de sofisticación y delicadeza en los detalles. Este en concreto es una pieza especial a la que querían dar una nueva vida, lo acompañé de motivos florales para que preserven el espíritu romántico del camafeo.

Whatever it is the material worked, the motif is usually of great beauty and female figures in most of the times. Whenever I see one, it takes me back in time, periods full of sophistication and delicacy in the details. This in particular is a special piece to which they wanted to give a new life, accompanied by floral motifs to preserve the romantic spirit of the cameo.
